I’m staff with 5yoe up for promo to senior. I’m looking to switch big 4’s for a senior role for more money. I’m grossly underpaid. Is this possible and how should I proceed?

It is possible. You should proceed by reaching out to one of those companies.

Wait for promo and then go

If you've been at E&Y since graduation, you're probably underpaid vs salary if you switched. This depends on having an in-demand skill set, of course.

Like another poster wrote, try for internal promo before switching.

You can also test the water applying to roles now.

1. Which big 4 are you working for now and what makes you say you are " grossly" underpaid? PwC is on cohort model, not sure which others are.

2. 5 YOE is a lot to not yet be senior. Have you been at the same firm this whole time?

Are you at Deloitte? Because otherwise 5 YOE as an entry level consultant says more about how you’re valued or seen in your current firm

Get promoted and leave. That’s the best option for maximum money

Anyone else ever feel like a completely inadequate consultant? I'm struggling with performance quality on this project because I just feel dumb and it demotivates me to really strive to improve.
